Diagnosis and management of astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and mixed gliomas: a review

Australasian Radiology
D G Walker, Andrew H Kaye

Abstract

Low-grade gliomas are a diverse group of neoplasms which, as the name implies, are thought to arise from glial cells. Common among this group are astrocytomas (low-grade astrocytoma; LGA), oligodendrogliomas and mixed gliomas. Among these, LGA is the commonest low-grade glioma and, occasionally, although incorrectly, the terms are used interchangeably. Advances in imaging technology have improved the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis. The management of low-grade gliomas is controversial. Recent evidence suggests that previously considered standard therapy (i.e. surgery plus radiotherapy) may not be in the patient's best interests. A review of the available published research concerning low-grade gliomas is therefore timely.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
